[Histonet] Auto stainer and coverslipper

[nick.kirk3 <@t> btopenworld.com]

You can adjust the volume of mountant dispensed on all the automatic coverslippers that I've tried, which ensures adequate cover of the section and in my experience you get a lot less air bubbles than you do with manual methods.
